International recruiter Empresaria Group has appointed Spencer James Wreford as group finance director.

Wreford, who joins from BPP Group where he was finance director of the professional education division, replaces Stuart Kilpatrick, who intends to accept a role outside of the group with another listed company.

Miles Hunt, group chief executive, says: “Spencer inherits a finance function that has been developed and strengthened significantly over the last two years as a direct consequence of the contribution made by Stuart who leaves Empresaria for a new challenge with our gratitude and best wishes.”
